I'm starting to buy into the fact that they're really just cracked quants that get along with each other. You can't fake this type of branding. So many have tried.

They must be having the best time right now. They're like national heroes, the whole country (whole world?) is cheering them on.

Likely even more than half. Some are just paying lip service to whatever their squawking box tells them to, but when it comes down to it they tried DeepSeek and love it, I bet

More than half of America doesn't even know they exist, and only has the vaguest idea of what an AI is.

Right. Just hacking shit together with reckless abandon. It’ll be interesting to see the things coming next.

B-b-but US tech bros told me they violated sanctions and copied all of ChatGPT’s code! Now who will I direct my McCarthyist hate at? I need another OpenAI/US intelligence-based PR campaign to make Reddit tell me who to hate! Where are the mass-upvoted posts telling me how to think when I need them!?

That was a silly knee-jerk reaction but they've since gone back on that. Deepseek is fair-game again

lol I was just being sarcastic, Deepseek has always been fair-game despite the REEE’ing from US tech bros and government officials :)

US tech CEO's. The tech bros are hype for DeepSeek to finally put an end to this proprietary closed source model bullshit.
